A special cuvée for the American importer, Eric Solomon, the 2018 Cotes du Rhone Reserve is a blend of 55% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Carignan and 5% each Cinsault and Mourvèdre from vineyards adjoining the Sabon's Chateauneuf-du-Pape holdings. With its seductive scents of black cherries and raspberries and a smooth, supple mouthfeel, it offers a lovely, medium to full-bodied introduction to the estate's style.
